Oh, hey….it’s been too long!! I wanted to (sort of, kind of) explain why I’ve been away.

SO MUCH to catch up on today!!! (Sort of?!) It's season 2, friends. What does that mean? Well...maybe nothing? We'll talk about it!! Today I'm sharing some resources that may protect artists from AI theft, talk about what I've been working on (or plan to work on, anyway!), and invite you to be part of my *cOmMuNitY*...really, tho, let's connect!

It's time to rest and reflect! Today I thought I'd take a moment to share my goals for the upcoming year, but also keep it low-pressure...

Is it wrong or selfish to keep making art when others are suffering? (Spoiler: the answer is no!) In today's episode, I just wanted to encourage you to keep making art, because it's so essential to us all. I'm also curious...what are your thoughts about Patreon, in light of some of their changes?? The book I mention starting, Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us by Susan Magsam...

All artists experience disappointment with their work, but what can you do when you really, *really* don't like it?! Hopefully I can offer some helpful advice on the subject today...

AI images aren’t really art, but does that mean they can’t be used in the artistic process? Today I’m sharing several of my scattered thoughts in general on AI “art” …let’s see if I can make any sense!?!? Also, totally NOT computer-made: Julia Jane hand draws awesome, beautiful, and spooky Victorian-style ink illustrations: https://instagram.com/juliafmartens/ https://youtube.com/@juliafmartens My...

Welcome to the first episode of Leanne’s Little Art Chats!!  This is probably—hopefully?—the most rambling one, too.  (What I’m saying is, I’ll plan out future episodes a little better.) In this very first episode, I’m introducing myself, talking about what I plan on doing with this podcast, and share one of my essays on why your sketchbook does NOT have to be perfect or even beautiful.  If you’re...

We can be a little too hard on ourselves as artists, especially when things aren’t going as we’d planned…we may know certain truths, but we may struggle believing them.  In this episode, I hope to share a few reminders with you to encourage you in your creative practice.
